This is something I quite enjoy and have gotten into. If you're unfamiliar with "poetry videos", the concept is obviously the same as a music video. It's fun to visually represent your poem, and most of the time, the ones that I've done are some vague attempt at humour, or a commentary of something the poem may or may not touch on. Anyway, here are some examples of Northern Irish poets who have done it. The most recent is "Tryin' To Get My Head Straight" by Séamus Fox, which I shot a few days ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1mc1UoBbXs"Perspective" by me. The footage was intended to be for something else, originally, but it fits better than I would have thought. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXt_-BvzXvk"Don't Let These Streets Hurt My Heart" by Gerard McKeown. This was pretty impromptu. Gerard had some lines going around his head, and I had my camera on me. Just so happened that there was a suitable location nearby too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOY8hMKqgrg- All in all, they're a bit of fun and can be amusing to see how people take this sort of thing, especially if they're not into poetry.

Great stuff Marcus, I've put a sticky on this topic so it can be easily found. It'd be nice to have an archive of all the videos being made by poets here.

I knew you slept in a suit. I thought this would just be a video of you wanking.

Me @ Norwich Arts Centre in June: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6fGVbE4Ak4That's the first part. The second should be in related videos or whatever, as well as some other singular poems from earlier in the day.
